Using Log Files

The Build utility generates files that provide useful information about build product status. These files include the following:

buildType_Version_Cpu.log

A log of the commands invoked by NMAKE.

buildType_Version_Cpu.wrn

A list of warnings generating during the build.

buildType_Version_Cpu.err

A list of errors generating during the build.

Log file writing can be controlled by using the -e, -E, or -j command-line options.

Note  The Build utility filters some compiler and linker warnings. Filtered warnings do not appear in the statistics that the Build utility reports; however, they do appear in the build*.log and build*.wrn files.
